Cisca Convention Set for March 26 and 27 in Chicago

Crim~ Subj~ct ''How to Live'' is ~ Of DlSCUSSton • r-lJy Fr. Maguire Topic of Address"'-'--

by Fr. J. Farrell The Central office of Cisca will

sponsored the 'Chicago Regional Ses­sion of the Students' Spiritual Lead­ership Movement Convention at the Morrison Hotel on the 26 and 27 of this month, according to its Mod­erator, Father Carrabine.

The purpose of this session is to formulate the most acceptable pos­sible program for Catholic Activity in Catholic colleges, schools, and nursing homes-to draw from the student delegates as much informa­tion, comment, suggestion, and cri­ticism as possible which will serve to make that program entirely prac­tical. It intends to assist in the formation of a program whereby Ca­tholic Action can be more effective­ly brought into the schools.

Hence free and open discussion by the delegates w ill make up the pro­gram of the Regional Session. There­will be no formal speeches. Informal discussions will occupy all of the time. Resolutions will formulate the results of these discussions.

Out of the r esults of the various Regional Sessions a complete pro­gz a.:.1 \\ ta be ior:uml&l-ed anti pre~

sented to all the schools of the country for the coming two years.

Since the facilities for assemblies at the hotel are limited, students wishing to attend are urged to make arrangements as soon as possible with our moderator, F a ther Crack­nelL

Players Select "Masterful Monk" The Cisca players have selected

"The Masterful ' Monk" for presen­tation on AprU 4 and 5 in the K. C. hall in Kankakee.

The play, taken from the novel of the same n ame by Owen F rancis Dudley, concerns <the rivalry between the fanatical Verrers and Father Anselm Tb r,n·ton; the regeneration of the soul of Eric E sterton, a young Englishman, crippled by a fall dur­ing a ouD.tain climbing expedition, and the love s tory of Beauty De­thier and Basil Esterton , Eric's younger brother. Brother Martin Mc­Laughlin, C. S. V. , will direct the production.

Illness Cau-ses Resignution of Professor Ley

Mr. Murray M. Ley, Professor of English and History at the College, was forced to relinquish his dUties last week as the result · of illness and at p·resent is resitling at th~ home of frientls in ·New York City. His plans for the 1'utu·re are as yet undetermined; his only Concern at the present time b~ing 'the r~covery of his health. ·

Continuing his series of weekly tadio round table discussions being broadc·ast over WCFL, Rev. J. W. R. N!aguire presented on March 6 an interesting discussion on the s ub­ject of "Crime". Judge J. Har­rington, Chief Justice of the Crimin­al Court in Chicago and Mr. Frank Donoghue, Assistant State's Attor­ney participated with Father Ma­guire in this discussion. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the broadcast resulted from the f8.ct that the three men approached the subject from differing viewpoints. J»dge Harrington took the discus­·sion, as it were, to the bench, pre­senting it from .a judicia l viewpoint. Mr. Donoghue pictured the scope and avenues of crime as seen by the prosecutor, while Father Maguire dealt with the st>cial significance and causes underlying crime.

Through the untiring perseverance of the Rev. Dr. E . V. Cardinal, C. S. V., President of St. Viator College, the localized units of the Parents club are solidifying and showing unhoped for strength in the accompishment of their aim: the closer relationship between the par­ents of the students and the mem­bers of the faculty.

At the present time Father Car­dinal has asked these groups to lend their aid in redecorating the chapel. Their response begun in Bloomington a few weeks ago was carried on by the combined Kanka­k ee and Bourbonnais units. On Sun­day, February 27, a card and bunco party was sponsored in the College Library under the auspices of the Kankakee and Bourbonnais Parents' Clubs. Entertainment given before the card playing began was a fav­orable start t o a most succeSsful afternoon and evening of card play­ing.

His experience a.s Chaplain of the State Prison Pon­tiac, Tilinois, stood him rn ' good stead ,as he illustrated his points by examples of his experiences with prisoners. Among other things, Fa­ther Farrell s tressed the need of moderate living, pointing out that people who spend "$50 per week while earning $25" constitute a large percentage of the prison population.

Conquer Viator Spellers; 35 -22

Unable to withstand the fierce on­s laught of the speller s from Rosary College, the Viator spellers, led by the redoubtable " Pinochle" Dan Ward, tasted the bitter dust of ig­nominious defeat in a contest held over radio st a tion WJJD on Sa t­urday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The score was 35-22 in favor of Rosary at the end of a half hour of merci­less and ferocious combat, but even this score is not indicative of the remarkable superiority evidenced by the spellers from Rosary.

The Viator men who suffered the tortures of embarrassment and dis ­tress for 30 minutes1 and who de­serve a merciless "Razzing" from the student body are: Charles Gil­bert, Alfred La mbeau, Leo Paulis­sen, Edwin Rooney, Harold Sand­quist and Dan Ward.

Much good was accomplished in spite of terrif ic defeat. For example, Ward knows that pinochle is · not spelled- P E A N U C K L E­

and all of them know enough to k eep out of spelling contests in the f uture. The defeat was excused on the grounds that our men broke training rules.

Harold Sandquist, bent on obtain­ing r evenge, very cordially invited the Rosary students to participate in a football game in the near fu­ture; 1'Leather Lungs" demanded a contest to see which side could "Howl" the loudest. Both 'invitations were politely declined, so the !(Green Wave" will have to start training for another spelling contest.

An express­ion of underhand malevolence show-ed itself in his cadaverous eyes which were set in bistred, deep-set sockets. His arms were too long for his body. He bad only one leg the other being cut off at the knee which made it necessary for him to jump along with the B.id of a crutch. At present he was grasping for support, the rail of the de"ck with a palsied and pouty talon and with each lurch and pitch af the ship ghastly curses in his grating voice were audible. In one of his ears which was half slashed away he wore a large gold ear-ring that was probably a replica of past buccan­eering days.

Must Know What G<>d Revealed

Father Bergin firs t of a ll estab­lished the fact tha t there must be "Some meana appointed by God Himself whereby we can know what is r equired of us. As a matter of fact all Christians admit, as they must, that God has actually pro­vided us with the means without which we could neither know nor do what God requires of us. To the question who or what is thi~ means, all Christians {vill return 1 one· or! two answers. Catholics will say: it is the infallible t eaching authority of the Catholic Church; Protestants will say: it is the Bible interpreted by the judgement of each individual believer ."

States Proposition t.o be Proved Using the severely logical .form for

which he has become so famous, Father Bergin then clearly stated the proposition which he intended to prove by using the following logical form: "The means appointed by Almighty God to enable us to know the truths of Divine Revela­tion which H e requires us to be­lieve, and the laws which He com­mands us to obey is either the Bible privately int erpreted or it is the infallible teaching authority of the Catholic Church. But it is not the former. Therefore it must be the latter."

time to a proof of the proposition that the Bible is not and cannot be tl>e sole ground of Christian faith and practice. He divided the proof of his proposition into three parts: "Without some competent authori ty independent of the Bible it is im­possible first, to settle the canon of Holy Scrpiture, that is, to de­termine what is the inspired word of God and what is not; second, to establish the sufficiency of the Bible, that is to prove that the Bible con­tains the whole revealed word of

Varsity Cagers Irish Conquer Dan Blazevich Lose All Three Wesleyan Five Turns In Most Starts On Trip By Big Margin Playing Time

By VInce Murphy

The most disastrous road trip of tae season ended on February 26, when the Fighting IIish r eturned af­ter losing three consec·utive confer­ence battles in as many nights. The Wave simply could no t hit its stride during any of the games and as a result is now in the second division of the loop standings.

Normal' s Profs galned r evenge for their early season upset by Viato• by turning in a 31-21 triumph. Blakeman and Balding Ie<l the Red­birds in scoring with Blakeman get­t ing nine points and the Normal captain notching eight. Bud , Mona­han's six points topped the Viator scoring.

W estern Teachers.. of Macomb, con­fe rence champions, were the next to bump off the Irish, 39-32. A late rally led by Dickie Stearns, one ot the class iest forwards In the s t ate, sewed up the contest for the champs. McElligott and Blazevich led the Viator attack with nine and t en points respectively.

Carthage won a listless battle 37- ' 35 although they were plainly not as good a team as Viator. ·n ·was a case . of "they were. hot, and we were off". Tony Sacco was the only . one who could hit the hoop with any degree of consis tency and he led the scoring by amassing thirteen counters.

Bill McElligott, red-headed junior forward, took hig h scoring honors for the 1937-38 basketball season by caging 72 fie lders and 19 free toss­es for a total or 163 points. It was the first time that McElligott had led the varsity scorers and In doing so he made an a verage of 35.6 per cent of his attempts. His free throw percentage was third best on the squad. He sank 57.5 per cent of his chanty shots.

Danny Blazevich closed his car­eer by playing more minutes than any other member of the squad. The inimitable Croat played 721 out of a possible , 800 minutes. McElligott and Bud Monahan followed him, with Red getting 667 and Monahan play­Ing 659 1-2 minutes.

Johnny Burke led the f r ee throw­ers over the entire season with an average of 64.7 In 20 games, a l­though F rank Straub had a 65.2 average for the seven games he played ln.

Burmeister's Bums Cop "B "League Title

By Vince Murphy Bob Burmeister's Bums, second

floor representatives in the "B" In­tramural league clinched the title February 24 by dropping J erry McLaughlin's luckless Mudders 26-12. The victory was the seventh in a row for the Bums and like­wise was the seventh consecutive defeat suffered by the Mudders.

Tortoliellio's Fascists licked Jack Shanley's Crows 19-14 with Nuccio's 10 points leading the Fascists. H ea­t on led the losers with nine. J oe McGrath led the Bums t o a n 18-11 verdict over Don Murphy's Hot Shots. McGrath garnered seven point abut Lawless of the losers exceeded his total by one.

Shanley's outfit bung a crushing 23-2 defeat · on the Mudders when Heaton collected 12 points. Bur­meister disposed of his most form­idable opposition by stopping the Facists 14-7. Burmeister made three baskets and a fre e throw for seve"n points. Ferrara's three point total was tops for the third floor team.

Mulvaney's seven points and Dris­coll's six count erS were· mainly re­sponsible for Murphy's 20-8 tri­umph over Shanley. Heaton hit four points for Shanley. Johnny Dymek led the Fascists to a 26-14 victory over McLaughlin's team. Ha lpin and Durkin led the Mudders.

Burmeister's leareds continued their relentless march for the title by climbing over the Crows" 15-9. Bimmerle hit seven points for the winners. Allen Clark connected on seven out of eight free' throws and added a basket for nine points but got little aid from his mates as the Mudders lost to Murphy's Hot Shots 30-16. Mulvaney, with 12, and Mur­phy, with ten points led the - win-ners.

Regan's Wilken Family reopened the second semester activities by notching a 17-10 victory over Dion­ne's Day Dogs. Stoltze led the win­ners with 4 field goals while Ma­guire's 6 points was top; for the losers.

The following night O'Connell's Nomads continued their victory string by taking a close contest f rom Nelan's Hoosiers 16-11. Close g uarding was the feature of the game with Vince Murphy's 7 points for the Hoosiers being high for the cont est. The winners continued to show plenty of class and it will take a r eally "hot" team to down them..

Frank Halpin went on a scoring spree to the tune of fourteen points as Sweeney's Jockeys overwhelmed the Day Dogs 31-8. Lee for the Joc­keys and McDonald for the losers ranked next in scoring honors with eight points each. The fourth tloor boys are playing just about the best bail in the league a t present·. and will probably give the leaders many a scare before the league t ermin­ates.

Haworth's Wolves took a hard­fought 25-20 decision from Nelan's Hoosiers in spite of plenty of op­position mainly from Vince Murphy who scored 11 points. Bob Bates matched Murphy in scoring and turned in a s t ellar floor game for the winners . Murphy seems to be attempting to get a lot of intra­mural experience as he has played with allout every t eam in the league thus far.

H eintzman's Indians (formerly Yavullo's) drop!! a.,J:!Qs~e.. to Morenc's Beer Barons 19-16. · Dov­orany scor ed three field goals to lead the Barons while H eintzman's six points was tops for the losers. The defeat just about eliminated the Indians from the title race though they did have one of the best bal­anced t eams in the circuit.

Bill W alsh broke into the Intra­mural League ranks with R egan's Wilken Family and turned in, one of the best performances ~f - the season as the Family overwhelmed Nelan's Hoosiers by a 33-5 count. Bill hit for eight field goals and four chari ty tosses to amass twenty points and his play seemed t o re­juvenate R egan's boys.

O'Connell's 17-10 victory over Haworth's Wolves seems to bear out the con tention of many that they are really the best defensive team in the league. Cashman and Lene­han lead the winners with two field goals apiece, while Eddie O'Connor's s ix points was high for the Wolves.

Morenc's Beer Barons returned to action with a rousing 38-28 victory over Sweeny's Jockeys. This was the

In former years, the Via­torian never failed to carry at least a resume of tht;! life of Ireland's Patron. W)l.ether you are doing the right thing in eliminating it is not for me to ;;ay. At least your action or inaction, perhaps, has s ta rted m e thinking.

Some few years ago I hearil P eter Maurin declare that the r easOn for the economic and social injustices abounding in this country were due to the fact tha t the. "Jews were no longer J ews, and the Irish no longer I rish". This apparent contradiction in r eality does contain some measure of truth. Are we', the first , and , sec­ond generation of the Irish in this country, as firm in faith and in hon­or as were our progenitors? Have we the strictly spiritua l outlook on life, the disdain for worldly good procured by a compromise of con­science, that charaterized for eight h undred years the history of Ire­land and of Irishmen ? H ave we progressed in this country, haVe we come to a standstill, or have we declined from ~better to worse? 'our critics ~ould say we have done· the last, but tha t cannot be saiff of us all. Nevertheless we should consider. these charges, IDld no time' is better than on the fe'as t day of our Patron.

Let us remember that he prayed day and night for ma.Tiy years that the Irish might retain unt il the end of time, the fai th he had b~ought them. For many _y"e_!\rS, l!D~e.r ___ P,~Ci--secution more f erocious then that of the Roman Elnperor~ ,the fai th of the Irish was so s trong that h istor­ians have characterized the isle "Holy Ireland" .
